    Alright doll-face, c'mon and bore me!
    Not a big deal, but my Fold-a-cover G4 Elite leaks from rain in the front corners. Does a pretty good job of keeping water out everywhere else, and we're had a lot of rain lately.

    Just looked for a tech support email for Fold-a-cover and it appears the company might have gone belly-up. I was hoping they might suggest a fix for what appears to be a minor design flaw.

    Anyone else with this cover who has found a way to stop the leaks?

    The front corners have a gap between the side rail and the stock OEM front tonneau mount. Did they plug those holes?

    Not sure. Bought the truck used with the tonneau on, so I don't know if it was installed by the dealer or the first owner. I'll have a look and report back later.

    Besides the leaks in the front corners, I've been very happy with this cover.

    A little water is expected. My Bakflip MX4 keeps most of it out, worried not one bit about a little that gets in there.

    Of course we only get like .000001 inches of rain a year out here in AZ.
